What if flowers and plants could be representatives of their country or region?

I have a vision of these images printed on fabric hanging as a flag would, with honor and pride. This particular plant would represent Southwest Asia, although I surmise it is now a world citizen.

I made this design just so I could say eucalypti! This one is a mixture of two different types of eucalyptus tree parts.

In the 1850s, Eucalyptus trees were introduced to California by Australians during the California Gold Rush and became America's Largest Weed.

Eucalyptus corymbia ficifolia or Red Flowering Gum makes up the center circle in the spectacularly colored buds, and the leaves and partially opened buds are like the clanger of the bell shape.

The quite common leaves and small blossoms of Eucalyptus Globulus or Blue Gum Tree grace the corner frames.

This one is made just from 2 parts. The leaves and the amazing orange flowers.

Over 500 species are accepted in the genus Aloe, and I think I have properly named this one. It is endemic to the south eastern part of Southern Africa.

Medicinal Uses
In a lab study conducted by Jia et al., wounds were induced in rat and rabbit test subjects and pulp from Aloe arborescens was applied to the wounds.[7] Results showed that healing rates were improved in wounds addressed with Aloe arborescens.  Source Wikipedia

Magnolia liliiflora (variously known by many names, including Mulan magnolia, Purple magnolia, Red magnolia, Lily magnolia, Tulip magnolia, Jane magnolia and Woody-orchid) is a small tree native to southwest China, but cultivated for centuries elsewhere in China and also Japan. It was first introduced to English-speaking countries from cultivated Japanese origins, and is thus also sometimes called Japanese magnolia, though it is not native to Japan. source Wikipedia

 Flowers, leaves and stems found on a Palo Alto tree.

Often known as the cockspur coral tree, native to Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil and Paraguay. It is widely planted as a street or garden tree in other countries, notably in California. source Wikipedia.

Working with plants singularly gives me an opportunity to appreciate the life cycles. I also like to bring this lens of life cycle to my own life and consider where  I am. A mother of a young child, in mid life. I feel like I am just beginning to bloom in so many areas! Where would you place yourself in your life cycle and how does this inform your experience?
